The IMA State unit Junior Doctors’ Network undertook the hunger strike, while the Medical Students’ Network (MSN) led the protest. “We had asked junior doctors to hold their protests in their respective medical colleges. However, arrangements were made at the IMA units working committee offices across Karnataka wherever it was not possible to protest at the medical colleges,” said S. Srinivasa, IMA State unit president.
The doctors followed an internal roster system to ensure that patient services were not affected, he added.
